R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Here is a great secret for you to live by: great relationships with others (especially significant others) begin with you having a great relationship with yourself.
And yes, I’m aware that we hear this all the time, “you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else” and “you need to be good to yourself”, etc. and YES, I am aware of how cliché that sounds. The main problem here is that most of the time we don’t know WHAT that means exactly (to love ourself) or HOW to do it!
